God With UsThe struggles and complexities of life teach us through the years that we must rely on our heavenly Father. As adults, we have leaned upon the promises of God and found him to be faithful and true to his good words revealed to us in the Scriptures. From battles with disease to major family decisions, God has walked with us, guided us, and sustained us through his word. While this relationship is indeed developed over time, are these promises just for grownups?
